HDB Estate & Towns Guide
Simei New Town
Simei New Town is a small estate that lies in the Eastern region of Singapore. It is located
south of Tampines New Town, east of Bedok New Town, and is close to the Pan Island Expressway and East Coast Parkway.
“Simei” is Chinese for “Four Beauties”. It is named after the four legendary
beautiful women of ancient China, namely Xishi, Yang Guifei, Wang Zhaojun and Diao Chan. There are plenty of amenities to
cater to the needs of the town’s residents such as East Point Mall, Simei Park, Changi Simei Community Club and educational
institutes like ITE College East (Simei). In addition, St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital and Changi General Hospital provide
residents in the area quality healthcare services.
Simei lies before the Singapore Expo, a massive complex where international conventions, concerts
and exhibitions are frequently held. It is also close to the industrial zone of the Upper Changi area; and a stone’s
throw away from Simpang Bedok, a popular local stomping ground with many 24 hour eateries.
